England’s “quarter-final curse” — with 10 attempts, they advanced only 3 times. Can they break it this time?



England are regulars in the World Cup quarter-finals — they have reached the last eight 11 times, second only to Brazil and Germany’s 14 times. But their quarter-final record is worrying: in the previous 10 quarter-finals, they advanced only 3 times, and in 7 of them their opponents scored at least 2 goals.

This “quarter-final curse” is like a boulder pressing down on England players’ minds. But this tournament, England have shown different resilience — in the round of 16 against Mexico, they fought through with 10 men and won 3-2. Former Premier League striker Sutton said: “That was the most exciting match of this World Cup so far, and I really admire the resilience England showed when playing with 10 men.”

England legend Shearer is backing England to beat Norway 2-1. Matthaus also predicts Norway 1-2 England. But the German icon also pointed out: “Norway are highly reliant on Haaland, but their excellent goalkeeper Nyland is equally crucial.” England need to prove they can break the quarter-final curse, while Norway hope to continue their underdog fairytale.
